This sort of makes me sad. Redis has strayed from what its original goal/purpose was.

I’ve been using it since it was in beta. Simple, clear, fast.

The company I’m working for now keeps trying to add more and more functionality using Redis, that doesn’t belong in Redis, and then complains about Redis scaling issues.

This doesn't sound like a Redis issue, you're just not using the right tool for the job.

Totally agree. It's definitely not the right tool for what they're doing, but some of the engineers don't seem to know better, or understand, the point of being able to run scripts on Redis.

Lots of Lua scripting and calculations being done on Redis that has nothing to do with the data that's local to Redis. It's infuriating.
